Top pick: #1 (TRIBAL GAL) (3-1) - Multiple stakes winner sprinting on the dirt, she's been freshened up since an easy gate-to-wire win in a $100K at Pleasanton on June 28. Working very fast for this attempt, and Raf Bejarano gets aboard for the first time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Tasty Treat) (7-2) - Very fast out of the gate, mare hasn't seen action since last October at Santa Anita. A multiple stakes winner sprinting on the grass, she did win on the dirt earlier in her career. It's noted that her regular pilot (Bejarano) is on "Tribal Gal." A threat if ready.
3rd pick: #6 (Tres Belle) (4-1) - Lightly raced daughter of "War Front" has "bobbled" at the start in three of her last four, but has still managed to go 4-2-1-0 during that span. Stalker is three of five on conventional and is a factor this afternoon.
4th pick: #5 (Wild in the Saddle) (10-1) - Mare is a bit "light" on "figures," but likes real dirt, has won on this course in the past, and should be in this turning for home. Longshot possibilities.
